Growing Sedum for Beginners

This is the time of year when sedum is in its glory. I saw this specimen recently. I think it may be the variety "Autumn Joy." I love the color, but sedum is also available in a variety of beautiful colors. 

Growing sedum is quite easy, which makes it a good plant for beginner gardeners.




Tips:

  • It's best to plant in the spring either from seed, nursery stock, or divided plants
  • plant in full sun
  • water as needed
  • deadhead blossoms once flowering is over


Consider adding sedum to your landscape next spring!
